HH Inbounds

Current 2nd year analyst at PE MM fund. Noticed that HH inbounds have slowed pretty significantly. Curious if others are seeing this and if it relates to a slowdown in the hiring market. Pretty happy at my current fund and have been promoted, but open to looking around

Yes- slowed pretty significantly for both PE and HF. None of them are really acknowledging a broad based pullback , some are saying expect to pickup over next few weeks but I’m taking it with a grain of salt

 

Yes outreach been super slow. I’m VP level hire and it’s worse for us. Agreed on poster above — none of the HH will admit it’s slow.

 

Pinpoint (Shitpoint) can't seem to send me enough crap! 

OMG , those guys are incredible ... They have been bombarding me with job specs for IB roles (and for non relevant teams...). Probably, one of the worse in London with Dartmouth...

Otherwise, agreed with the topic, things have slow down quite significantly in terms of PE roles or only selectively for diverse hires (females or non white backgrounds).
